“A first album is a delicate project with a lot of hopes and anxieties in the air. Dave embraced this project fully with supportive and creative ideas and constructive expertise. The result is still a pleasure to listen to five years later. It was such a satisfying creative process. Dave is a true professional and you'll get more than a "by the hour" level of commitment. You'll get a collaborative effort all the way through.

“Let me just say, if you chose to record, mix or master with Dave you are getting your money's worth. He is a pro,.. not just a great engineer/producer but has the ears of a cat (Not only is a cat’s hearing immensely impressive with an average range of between 45Hz – 64,000Hz but their ears are very cute).. and he plays several instruments very well.. (so if you don't quite have your session players lined up you can just count yourself lucky). Seriously though, I highly recommend his services. Also, it's a lovely setting. Thanks again Maestro!...”

“This is by far my favorite piano sound in all my years of recording and mastering. With your expert choice of mics and placement it is just stunning.

“I went to Dave Blackburn to master my beloved album project because I wanted the best at any price. I got what I came for. Dave’s mixing and mastering skills don’t simply meet, but frequently exceed professional industry standards. I eagerly look forward to working with him again.”
